PRESENTATION- PROFESSOR BRIAN KENNEDY
Topic: Longevity: Do Lifestyle Habits and âAnti-Ageingâ Compounds Work Together?
Â
We all know the basics of staying healthy:Â eat well, exercise regularly, sleep enough, and manage stress.
But hereâs the real questionâis that enough to stay strong and healthy as we age?
Today, thereâs growing interest in âgeroprotectorsââcompounds and interventions aimed at supporting healthy ageing and extending quality of life. At the same time, exercise, especially strength training, remains one of the most effective ways to maintain muscle, strength, and independence as we age.
So what happens when we combine the two?
Can supplements or therapies enhance the benefits of trainingâor replace movement altogether?
We still donât fully understand how these strategies interact. This session explores the relationship between lifestyle habits and longevity interventions, and offers a practical framework for combining them effectively.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Foundations First:
Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management remain essentialâbut may not be enough on their own for optimal ageing.
Longevity Tools are Emerging:
Geroprotectors and targeted therapies show promise, especially alongside strength training.
Be Strategic, Not Additive:
Combining interventions isnât straightforwardâinteractions can help or hinder, so an informed, balanced approach is key.
